Central Park

New York's Central Park in the fall is perhaps one of the loveliest places on Earth. A few years ago I was awarded a commission by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to create illustrations in pen and ink of this most famous landmark of the city. I'm a native-born New Yorker, but I never lose the enjoyment of spending time here.

American Landmarks for Chase Private Client

The dream assignment: traveling across the United States for Chase Private Client, drawing the most beautiful and iconic landmarks and cultural sites of our cities. Yes, please. What a joy to do this commission.

New York City

There is truly no place like my home town, New York City. These are some images of a city I love and it's people. Traveling is wonderful but really, there's no place like home.

Paris

There is only one Paris. So elegant and urbane. The history, the romance, the cheese! What's not to love?

Boston and Philadelphia

Two great cities of the American North East. I had the privilege to complete commission for Boston Weddings magazine and the Ellis Coffee company of Philadelphia. In each city, I had one day to soak it all in and draw as much of what I saw as was possible. Adrenaline rush, and a delicious sleep on the train ride home!

Rarotonga

Visiting the largest of the Cook Islands and documenting the work of Nan Hauser, humpback whale researcher, was a once in a lifetime experience.
